Achlys reached her room and bid good bye to her friends till dinner.

At dinner time Rose knocked at Achlys' door.

"Achlys, it's time for dinner"

No answer.

She knocked again after a while but still, no answer.

She opened the door and found none there.

She went to the bathroom and knocked "Achlys are you in there?".

Still no answer, she stepped inside and searched but she was not here either.

She ran outside and began searching for her in the halls.

On her way she bumped into Scarlet and Canny.

Scarlet saw the worry in her eyes.

"What happened Rose why are you so worried?"

"Achlys is not in her room" Rose replied.

"Maybe she is taking a look around the palace, leave her, let's go have dinner" Canny rolled her eyes and went to the dining hall.

Rose and Scarlet gave each other perplexed looks and then went to find Achlys for dinner.

Achlys sat on a tree humming the new song she is gonna play for the costumers.

Suddenly a voice yelled from downwards.

"Rose and Scarlet are searching for you inside for dinner and you are having fun out here".

Achlys dangled upside down on the tree branch to see who was there.

On the ground stood Callan with a some sort of angry expression on his face.

Coming down she glared at him.

"Tell them not to wait for me, I am not hungry"

"Can't you be a little considerate, even if you don't want to eat then also you could just sit with your friends to have dinner"

"And the food you will get here is far way better than the junk you usually eat".

Achlys anger busted off, no one, that means no one talk crap about her mother's cooking.

And in the moment of anger she slapped him across the face.

Callan stood there stunned at what happened, how dare she slapped him a prince.  She really is fearless and that somehow made him proud?

He seems to be going crazy!!

He was about to make a comeback when his eyes widened.

"Duck!!" he shouted.

She wasn't able to understand anything.

But before she could look behind and figure out the situation, Callan has already blocked the lamp pole that was about about to fall on her with his own body taking the blow.
